"It's over," proclaims TNG star.

Marina Sirtis, a.k.a. "Deanna Troi" on Star Trek: The Next Generation, appeared at this past weekend's United Fan Con outside Boston where she advised fans on Saturday not to anticipate any further Star Trek films featuring the Next Generation cast. Reps for IGN FilmForce were on hand to witness her comments.

"It's over. There's not going to be another one," Sirtis told the crowd flatly in reponse to a question. She claimed it's due to the box office drubbing endured by Star Trek: Nemesis.

Sirtis, a self-proclaimed fan of Nemesis, said the film would have done "blockbuster business" had Paramount released it in February 2003 rather than "five days before Lord of the Rings" in late 2002. She then suggested it's time perhaps for Star Trek to retire for at least a decade before it's brought back.
